"Hollywoodland" isn't really a biopic in that we didn't really know

much at all about the actor that played the original Superman, except that he allegedly killed himself.
Affleck gives a monumental performance of what was a second-rate character, making him human and interesting.
There are several subplots which weaken the film but Affleck's so skillful it doesn't matter.
I'm looking forward to seeing it the third time, his portrayal is that nuanced.
Frankly, I can't think of another actor who could have done as well in that role. I was stunned because, since The Boiler Room, I've thought very little of Ben.
I'll keep my eye open for Schwartzman but, with 115 films in my Netflix line, it'll be hard for awhile :-)
